What is TEFL/TESOL?

This is the question we find ourselves answering most often. These acronyms, as well as others, can be rather confusing, especially considering theyâre used interchangeably. In response to this, we've provided a list of acronyms that will hopefully clarify the differences between their meanings:

TEFL - Teaching English as a Foreign Language

This term is mainly used when English is being taught in a country where it isn't the native language (i.e. teaching English to Italians in Italy).

TESL - Teaching English as a Second Language

This is used where English is being taught to non-native speakers of English in a country where it is the native language (i.e. teaching immigrants to the usa/Australia).
